They first defeated a Persian force at Granicus and massacred the Greek mercenaries hired by the Persians to give them the armoured infantry they lacked - this stopped Greeks hiring themselves out in future, and so left the Persian unarmoured infantry to face Macedonian armoured soldiers.
They then captured the coast of the eastern Mediterranean Sea which stopped Persia operating naval forces against mainland Greece, thus securing their home cities and source of recruits while they fought in Asia.
They then defeated the Persian main force at Issus and captured the Persian treasury, giving them the financial resources to pay and feed their soldiers and augment their mercenary archers, light infantry and cavalry..
With this augmented force they then attacked the main Persian force again at Gaugamela and defeated it decisively. Coordinated resistance ended and they picked off the rest of the Persian piece by piece over the following few years.

The following spring, they assembled the city armies which had been defending their cities against the threat of attack by the Persian fleet, which was no longer a threat. The combined army defeated the depleted Persian army and its Greek allies.

∙ 14y agoThe sea battle of Salamis in 480 BCE destroyed the Persian naval superiority. Unable to protect their sea supply line, half the Persian army was sent home, and the rest withdrew to Thessaly for the winter. This naval defeat also ended the amphibious threat to the cities of the Peloponnese, who were therefore able to send their armies to Plataia the following Spring and combine to defeat the remaining Persian army and its Greek allies. At the same time the Greek fleet eliminated the remaining Persian fleet at Mykale in Asia Minor. See also What_was_the_battle_at_Thermopylae_involving_the_300_and_who_won

Did Sparta defeat Persia?
No. The Spartans defeated about 500,000 Persians along with about 1,700 Greeks. Later on in the war, they withdrew to defend Sparta and lost the war. The Spartans alone did not fight or defeat Persians and Persian allies. Many Greek city states allied and defeated Persians in land and sea battles in two separate wars. The only Greek defeat from the most famous battles in the two separate Persian invasions was in Thermopylae. And even then, few thousand Greeks died, including plus or minus 300 Spartans, while it is believed more than 20,000 Persians and their allies that included many Greeks, died in Thermopylae. So it was an honorable defeat.

In the early stages from 499 BCE when Persia dominated, they were able to use Greek inter-city rivalries and disunity, ease of bribing their leaders, and in the field, the superiority of their cavalry and the fleets, which latter they levied from Phoenecia, Egypt and the Ionian Greeks as well. As the Greeks gained more cohesion and the will to combine for their common defence, they were able to consistently defeat the Persians on sea and land, until Persia agreed to peace in 449 BCE.
What was important about that Battle of Marathon in 490 B.C.?
The Battle of Marathon was a turning point during the first Persian invasion of Greece. The Persians vastly outnumbered the Greeks on the battlefield, but the Greeks were able to defeat them. The Greeks charged the Persian troops with a thin weaker line, while the Greeks' left and right flanks consisted of stronger troops who quickly surrounded the Persian troops and attacked them on both sides.
